will bet just as many "bust-outs" as the tight player
[/ QUOTE ]
Two players, both will bet 5 rivers per 100 hands.
Tight player bets 10 rivers overall.
Loose player bets 30 rivers overall.
Tight player is bluffing 50% of the time (5/10)
Loose player is bluffing 17% of the time (5/30)
Given these conditions, you should call more often against the tight player than the loose player.
Notice that if the tight player bluffs only twice to the loose players' five times, then it's still more likely that the tight player is bluffing.
Caveat: Tight players make good hands more often, and you'll never know exactly how often people bluff.
